Demucking system
A device for cleaning vehicle chassis is referred to as a demucking system , also known as coarse dirt washing system or construction machine washing system in German-speaking countries . In contrast to a tire washing system, a demucking system is not about keeping the public roads clean, but only about cleaning the vehicles themselves.
Intended use
After operations in soft or sandy soil, large amounts of dirt adhere to the chassis and track drives or wheels of vehicles. Such contamination often complicates maintenance inspections or endangers the drive systems of trucks and construction machinery due to the insulation (overheating). Cleaning typically requires large amounts of human labor, fresh water, and electricity. With an automatic coarse dirt washing system, however, such dirt can be removed more quickly, in a more economical and cost-effective manner than with conventional methods (manual work with high-pressure lances ). Such systems thus make a contribution to profitability, increased performance, energy and resource efficiency, environmental protection and humanization of the workplace.
technology
A demucking system enables the cleaning process to be divided into a coarse wash and, if necessary, a subsequent delicate wash using a different technology. The main volume of the washed-off dirt always occurs in the coarse dirt washing system. The washing technology is based on a high volume of water with low pressure, the circulation of water and the absence of hot water and cleaning agents. As a result, the sludge is usually not contaminated with oils or fats and only small amounts of fresh water are required. During the water treatment process, the sludge is automatically discharged to the side by means of a scraper conveyor. From there it can usually be disposed of inexpensively without declaring it as hazardous waste.
